Omis
is a small bathing station situated half-way between two tourist
centers such as Split and Makarska.

The city spreads at
the mouth of the Cetina river that ends its journey started 105 kms
in the north from its source in the village of Cetina.

The
place is situated between two mountain's massifs : Poljicka planina,
a foothill of Mosor and Omiska Dinara.

ONCE,
A PIRATES NEST

The
old city, on the foothill of these stoned walls once was a center of
Croats' pirates who stood up to the powerful Venetians for more than
two centuries.

Except for the enormous blocks of rocks,
the town is dominated by two medieval fortresses : Mirabela or
Peovica and Fortica or Starigrad. They are the witnesses of Omis's
pirates' past and as having the excellent position and view they
allowed them to watch over the ships to attack.

NOWADAYS,
A PEACEFUL TOWN

On
the narrow and steep streets of that city with its old houses all
built by the same white stone, one can find everything to spend
agreeable and animated vacations.

RIVIERA
OMIS

Those
looking for peace can easily escape to one of the villages that is
the part of Omis's riviera extending over 35 kms from Duce in the
west to Vrulja in the east.
